Stress Echocardiography Versus Coronary Angiography for Left Main Stenosis Detection (ESTRIE-TC)

June 24, 2013 updated by: Paul Farand, Université de Sherbrooke

Évaluation de l'Echographie de Stress Par Comparaison à la Coronarographie Comme Outil Non Invasif de détection de la resténose Intra endoprothèse du Tronc Commun

Left main stenosis use to be treated by bypass but with the improvement of angioplasty techniques, an increasing number of patients are submit to left main coronary angioplasty. Consequences of left main intra stent stenosis can be disastrous yet, for the moment, no precise recommendation concerning the follow up of these patients exist. The investigators ought to determine if stress echocardiography can predict left main intra stent stenosis as well (non inferiorly)as control angiography that use to be done.

  • patients over 18 years old able to give consent and having had left main angioplasty.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Bypass on the left anterior descending coronary artery or left circumflex (" protected left main ")
  • Treating physician judge that angiography need to be done straightaway
  • Follow up elsewhere than the CHUS
  • Patient refusal
  • Pregnant women

Design Details

  • Observational Models: Cohort
  • Time Perspectives: Prospective

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Stress echography
Nine to twelve months after their left main angioplasty, patients will go through a stress echo and then the usual control angiography (done routinely in most patient in our center). Patients will act as their own control.
Patients able to exercise will have a treadmill test + echography; the others will have a dobutamine echography.
Other Names:
  • Dobutamine echocardiography
  • Treadmill echocardiography
